Drawing today’s top 10 trending Steemit articles
Wow! Steemit trending is moving so fast my paintbrush can’t keep up!
So last night I sat down and started to work on my blog post for today, I decided that I was going to start drawing and painting the top 10 trending articles.
Wordle by @OpheliaFu using Wordle.net
The preparation
I put in the ground work by copying each trending posts header into wordle.net, to make a word cloud as inspiration. I then went through each posts main image and put together a composition. All set to draw for the morning’s video post, or so I thought!
Time to go full Steem
However this morning everything has changed in trending! I forgot the speed that Steemit and its community moves.
So no time for planning, I decided I was going to draw today’s top 10 trending articles live, so this is the start of my piece as of 10.30 am (GMT) 03/08/2016. I’m drawing straight from the computer, the video is 20 seconds long.
To be continued...
I will post later the finished piece with colour and a new video, but as you can imagine time is of the essence when it comes to posting about the top 10 trending!
I don't dare check the trending articles again after posting this in case it has all changed again ! :)

cool original idea! keep u the good work
You have ur own YouTube channel to wow.
this is great @opheliafu! Are you going to use color on this one?
Yes, paint and maybe oil pastel. What you are seeing above is really only a quick sketch done at speed. But there was an urgency to post before everything changed again. There was a fair bit of shrieking when i was doing a quick edit and trying to post + the internet went down (lots of shrieking at that point)!
Great. Can't wait to see it!
